To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known-that I, ROBERT WooDs, of Grand Forks, inthe county of Grand Forks and State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Im rovemcnts in Shockers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enab e others skilled in the art to which it apper-v tains to make and use the same.

invention relates to vimprovements in shoc ers ada ted to be connected with and receive. bundles of grain from the hinderpthe object of the invention being to provide simple and yeficient. means lfor forming a 4shock .and depositing the same in an upright position upon the ground.

With this object in view, the invention consists incertain novel features of construction .and combinations of parts as hereinafter set --forth and pointed out in the claims.

' of the 4 than the other.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a View .in side elevation illustrating my im- Fig.

3 is a lplan view and Fig. 4 is a detail View of the tucken A -1 represents a rectangular frame provided between its ends withdepending arms 2 l1avvertical elongated slots 3, for the adjustin ableattachment of axle stubs 4 for carrying Wheels 5. Screws 6 may be provided for adjustin the frame vertically with respect to The forward end ofthe frame 1 is connected with an arm or rod 8 referably gas-piping) located in front binder 9 and braced to the end of the pole of'the binder. The center of the forward end of the frame 1v is 'provided with a hook. 10,'to engage a loop at the end of the arm or gas-piping 8. In other respects, the frame 1 andthe shocking devices carried -thereby as hereinafter described, are free to travel with the bindcr. The sides 'of the frame 1 are provided with bearings ll'for the journals or trunnions 12 of shock-receiving receptacles 13. These receptacles are made approximateljr semi-circular in cross section, with one end somewhat more contracted That is to sa ,-each rceptacle 13 is made of less widt i at the end in which the headed ends of the bundles are received, than at the en'd in which the butt ends of the bundles will be located. The receptacles 13 areV disposed back-to-back 4and he d rigidly with respect to each other, 4by means of spiders 14. The journals 12 by means of which the dumping receptacles are rotatively mounted on the frame 1, are located at the ends of a shaft 15 disposed be-I tween thel two rece tacles and secured to the` spiders 14. Caina'ped brake disks 16 lare secured to the shaft 15 and shoes 17 secured to the frame 1, engage these disks, to retard the turning of the receptacles during the act of dumping a shock, butpcrmitting their free rotary motion to return a receptacle to normal position. Arm 18 on the spiders oooperate with a spring catch 19 on the frame 1 to prevent the dumping receptacles from turning in the Wrong direction, and a `latch device 20 will be provided to hold` the receptacles in normal position and for releasing the same to dump a shock.

The side bars of the frame 1 are provided at or near their forward-ends` with lugs, inj" which the ends 'of a shaft21 yare mounted. This shaft serves to pivotally support, aplate -or "tucker 22, the latter bein supported between its ends by said shaft;v isposed ap-` proximatelyvertically between the shocking receptacles and the forward endof the. frame 1, and provided at its lowerend,wit h a down.- wardly and rearwardly rojecting iiange 23, which latter may, il' desired, be corrugated. A conveyer frame 24 is attached at its lower end yto the binder frame and the Acurved upper end of said conveyer frame is su ported over. the receptacles of the shocker, y means of a cord or rope 29 suitably attached to the binder frame. An vendless conveyor 25 passes over sprocket Wheels on shaftsl26f-27 l and over su1tab1y arran ed idles- 28. The shaft 27 receives motion or driving the conveyer, from the lpitman or other suitable part of the bindermechanism.

When the luppermost receptacle 13 has received suflicient grain from the conveyor 25 to form a shock, the o erator will withdraw latch device 20 to re ease the receptacles. As the heavier, butt-end of the shock begins to dum it will engage the lower anged end of t 'e tucker 22, whereby the sheaves will be lifted out slightly from the shock (thus spreading out the bottom of the shock) and as the shock continues to turn, the upper end of the tucker will crowd against the top of the shock. Whenthe shocking receptacle arrives at an' upright position, the

closely confine )y the contracted upper endof the receptacle 13 and the upper portion of the tucker, while the bottom o f Athe shock u er end of the shock will be lin-n been sensed lo prend onl soniewln'rt lijf f ils engugenn-,nl willi Ille flanged lower end ol ille l lnfflier 212. dnl-lng; ille enrly portion olz Joe delnils ol conslruelion ol' my invention millioen departing from l/lle spirill liliereol" or liniiing ile scope und henne il do not 1.\'isl|.lxo linnl .myself to ille precise details herein sel. l'orLli.
